It's always so fun to look back & see what we've been reading! I read aloud Echo Mountain and J.K. Rowling's The Ickabog to all three kiddos, and we really enjoyed both of these novels! Hadley, Brady, and I read Ways to Grow Love as part of our homeschool curriculum, and it was just okay in our opinion. In my efforts to work my way through all of Katherine Center's books, I read Everyone is Beautiful and I loved it! It was different than so many of the typical rom-com, meet-cute storylines {although I do love those!}. My sister gifted me In the Likely Event for Christmas, and I finally got around to reading it! I wasn't a fan of Fourth Wing, which is by the same author, but this one was totally different! The book was set during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which reminded of a great documentary Derek & I just watched about this--it's called Send Me (I think it's free on Amazon Prime!). First Lie Wins caught my attention right away & kept me guessing at every turn, but I wasn't a fan of how it ended. I randomly picked up Welcome Home, Stranger after spotting it in the new release section of our library, but I wouldn't recommend it. I didn't find any of the characters likeable or relatable at all. Abby Jimenez's books are always quick, fun reads, and Remarkably Bright Creatures was a winner for me! I had seen this book recommended a good bit, and it definitely lived up to the hype!
